The team

The startup behind FlexMeasures is Seita, a spin-off from CWI Amsterdam. We are looking to create partnerships around FlexMeasures, so do get in touch!

Felix is a physicist specialised in energy science. After 5 years at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), where he designed and analysed market mechanisms for smart energy systems, Felix founded Seita in 2016 as a CWI spin-off. His vision was to match sound academic solutions to sustainability challenges. He is a former design team member and currently ambassador for the USEF foundation, which provides an international common standard for smart energy systems and has inspired the design of FlexMeasures.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Sciences from the University of Osnabrück (Germany), a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and in 2016 he defended his Phd dissertation in Computer Science at TU Delft (topic: flexible planning in smart grids) . Nicolas has been a programmer and data scientist in two IT startups, enabling neurosience-based web design and energy trading services.
